I MOTHER EARTH's Review
Oct 22, 2004

THE GOOD:
-Updated rosters
-In depth dynasty mode
-World cup of hockey mode
-European elite leagues
-Much improved hiting
-More strategizing (face off strategies)

THE BAD:
-No Create-a-Player (what were they thinking)

THE GOOD:
More create team logos, better graphics, you can compete in the world cup of hockey. You can select old team logos and jerseys for your created team. More updated rosters including most of the trades (except for a few newer trades over the summmer).

can be played online.

THE BAD:
You cant create a player of your own. You cant use created team in Dynasty Mode. soundtrack is not all that great exept for a few songs.

SUMMARY:
Over all the game is pretty good the graphics are great and the open ice conrtol really gives you a good chance to set up for a one timer. open ice support gives you a good chance to get to the net while your teammate blocks your oponents.
This is probably the best out of all the NHL titles for the PS2.
The goaltenders in this games have some new saves and actually lets goals in because they were screened.
the in-depth Dynasty mode really...
